‘It’s Showtime,’ appears to be taking a more cautious approach recently, possibly due to concerns about the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).
This new approach has prompted one of its guest performers, social media sensation Toni Fowler, to adopt a more modest style of dress during her appearances.
Toni Fowler has become a familiar face on ‘It’s Showtime,’ with almost weekly performances that have endeared her to both the show’s staff and viewers. Her widespread presence on social media has only added to her popularity.
However, a recent performance on ‘It’s Showtime’ painted a different picture. During the show’s opening, Toni Fowler was seen covered from head to toe, a stark contrast to her previous performances that sometimes involved revealing attire. It appears that the show’s management has taken steps to ensure their performers dress more modestly and execute choreography more carefully, even incorporating Zumba moves into their routines.
This shift in tone might be attributed to a desire to avoid any negative attention from the MTRCB, the regulatory body for television content in the Philippines. Given the board’s authority to review and classify television programs, networks like ABS-CBN, which airs ‘It’s Showtime,’ are keen on maintaining compliance with broadcasting standards.

The incident involving Toni Fowler may have prompted ‘It’s Showtime’ to adopt a more conservative stance to prevent any further issues with the MTRCB.
Earlier this year, Toni Fowler made an emotional return to ‘It’s Showtime’ to promote the series ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.’ It’s worth noting that Toni Fowler originally gained fame on the show as a backup dancer and had been associated with the program for nearly three years.
